Chapter 3 3 The Entrance Dinner and the Sorting Hat

Founded in the 10th century, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located in the Scottish Highlands. It mainly accepts students from the British Empire and Ireland. It is a national wizarding school directly funded by the Ministry of Magic.Because of the covering spell, Hogwarts' precise location will never be known, and to Muggles, it looks like a crumbling ruin of a ruined castle.In the exterior scene, the typical representative of Hogwarts is its towering Gothic castle, surrounded by a large area of ​​slope lawn, flower garden, vegetable garden, black lake, forbidden forest, several greenhouses, and a standard Quebec Geekball Stadium.And when the newly enrolled children took a small boat across the chilly lake and saw the towering castle for the first time through the dark fog, the shock in their hearts was indescribable, including this year's school. An Nan, one of the freshmen.

An Nan followed the team of freshmen into the corridor in front of the auditorium. The brown oak door guarded everything behind it like a loyal guard, leaving freshmen with only restless tension and perhaps timid excitement.An Nan deliberately walked behind the team, which gave her more time to observe everything in front of her.It was also a pity that she hadn't noticed the little quarrel between Harry and Draco in the front row.

'Welcome to Hogwarts' Professor McGonagall standing at the front straightened her back, her eyes were shining with rigor, while An Nan standing at the back was inexplicably aware of Professor McGonagall's peripheral vision Harry never left the front row.

'The Commencement Feast will begin shortly, but before you can take your seats in the Great Hall, you need to choose your house.House selection is a very important ceremony because your college is like your home while you are here.You will attend classes with others in the same house, sleep in the dormitory of the college, and spend your spare time in the common room'

'The four houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.Each college has its own glorious history, and each college has produced outstanding wizards.While you were at Hogwarts, your honors earned your house points, and any infractions would lose points.At the end of each academic year, the House with the highest score is awarded the House Cup – a great honor.I hope that each of you will be able to honor your own house, no matter which house you end up in'

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, he turned around and tapped the door of the auditorium with the tip of his wand. A few seconds later, the thick brown oak door opened, and Hogwarts showed the new students the first time. its magic.

In the middle of the auditorium are four long dining tables. The older students who have entered the school have already sat down in front of the dining table in an orderly manner. There are golden tableware and cups in front of them, and the lights that light up the auditorium It is hundreds of candles floating in the air.Looking up, the young freshmen couldn't help but be shocked by the beautiful starry sky on the ceiling of the auditorium.

'Look, it's beautiful, is it real? 'A little boy couldn't help but whispered admiration.

"Oh, don't be silly, this is just an illusion spell imitating the outdoor sky." Another little girl's tone was full of contempt for the person who asked the question. It seemed that such a simple spell should be practiced by every little wizard. Know the basics.

However, An Nan seemed to turn a blind eye to everything around her. The moment she entered the door, her gaze was fixed on the figure on the left hand side of the dining table in the auditorium in front of her - a black wizard robe, shoulder-length short hair, and long hair. Long aquiline nose, jet-black eyes, and a cold and gloomy aura around him.

It's strange, isn't it, there are so many people in this room, but I will see you first.

An Nan's vision was gradually blurring, just before the people on the stage turned their sharp gazes to her, An Nan lowered his head instantly, and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands.When she raised her head again, Snape's gaze had already returned to the front of the freshman line, and An Nan knew that he was looking at Harry who was walking at the front of the line.

The piercing singing of the Sorting Hat ended with sparse applause. Professor McGonagall was standing on the stage, holding the parchment freshman list in his hand, "When I call your name, you have to put the hat on your head and sit down." Waiting for the sorting to end on this stool'

An Nan didn't have to wait long before his name was called, and there were rustling discussions at the Slytherin table next to him. It was obvious that the Bennett family's reputation among wizarding nobles was not only known by the Malfoy family.An Nan forced herself to keep her head down. She was afraid that her eyes would involuntarily fall on the person on the stage. Fortunately, the freshmen showed various nervous expressions. In the past few years, there was one Vomiting and spraying the little boy covered in the Sorting Hat, such a terrible behavior would make the proud Sorting Hat jump up, and the result is that the whole sorting process is in the angry Sorting Hat's cynical harshness The fire-breathing tone passed, and this also left indelible psychological trauma to the young freshmen of that class since then.Therefore, An Nan's behavior of lowering his head will only be regarded as the understandable nervousness and fear of the little freshmen.

'Oh, very interesting.I can see that you have strong determination and perseverance." The Sorting Hat's pretentious tone rang in An Nan's ears, and An Nan was using the Occlusion Curse.This spell was the first one she had learned since she came into this world, although the Bennetts never understood why their daughter was so obsessed with such a strange spell.

'I'm going to Slytherin, I'm going to Slytherin' Annan muttered these words in her head, she must be assigned to Slytherin, and she wanted to be a student of his college.

'you sure?I can see that you have a lot of courage, you will be like a fish in water in Gryffindor." The sorting hat obviously doesn't agree with An Nan's obsession with Gryffindor.

'I'm going to Slytherin, I'm going to Slytherin'

Finally, the Sorting Hat was helpless against An Nan's unrelenting attitude, and shouted angrily, 'Slytherin! '

Putting down her hat, An Nan quickly ran to the end of the long Slytherin table. She randomly found a place and sat down, pretending to inadvertently wipe the corners of her moist eyes.Finally, when she raised her head and could look at her headmaster on the stage, her gaze met Snape's probing gaze at her in astonishment—is he looking at her? !

'Congratulations, Severus, what a lovely new student, isn't he? 'Professor Flitwick, who was sitting next to Snape on the stage, took a sip of red wine and said cheerfully,'Oh, what a young and energetic face, do you know, I still remember when you entered school, you met them Same…'

The drunk Flitwick was still chattering in Snape's ear, but Snape's mind was only fixed on the picture when he entered school that year - Lily, she was the same as these freshmen back then. As young as he was, the one who enrolled with him...

Subconsciously, Snape couldn't help but clenched the fork tightly in his right hand. He could have saved her then, but it was too late...

'Severus? !Severus? ! ’ Flitwick's high-pitched voice finally called Snape back from his painful memory, and he looked sideways at Flitwick before he heard him say, 'Look!It's Harry, James' son! '
